Chards is an official partner of The Royal Mint. Our silver Britannia coin range, among other Royal Mint products, are sourced directly from their mint headquarters in Llantrisant, Wales.
In 2018, the Royal Mint started to produce Britannia coins with an 'oriental border'. These coin designs were inspired by the Chinese-themed banqueting room at the Royal Pavillion in Brighton, with the aim of them being to appeal to coin collectors in Asian markets.
British silver Britannia bullion coins were first introduced in 1997. Until 2013, the coins were struck from 0.958 fine Britannia silver. In 2013, this changed to 0.999 fine silver. The coins have a face value of £2 and contain one troy ounce of silver. The coins feature Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, with Britannia on the reverse.
The obverse design features the fifth definitive UK coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark and bears the following inscription:
· Elizabeth II · D · G · REG · F · D · 2 POUNDS ·
The reverse shows the classic, standing Britannia designed by Philip Nathan. Britannia stands in front of a radiant sun, the design is partially contained within an inner circle.
The outer circle contains the legend:
